- 38. , A class of echinoderms, the sea cucumbers.
- 39. , A class of flatworms; the tapeworms.
- 40. , A eukaryotic Kingdom of organisms including algae.
- 41. , A form of asexual reproduction in which a complete organism forms from small fragments of its body.

- 47. , A class of arthropods that includes spiders, scorpions, ticks and mites.
- 48. , A crystal of calcium carbonate me; it is first formed within a cell, enlarging to a plate beneath the skin; forming the skeleton of echinoderms.
- 49. , A eukaryotic Kingdom of organisms including mosses, ferns, trees and shrubs.
Down
- 1. , A class of cnidarians that has polyps as the dominant life stage; for example, Hydra or Obelia.
- 2. , A body cavity with one opening to the outside; it functions as a digestive and circulatory system.

- 30. , A high energy organic molecule used to store energy in living organisms.
- 32. , A depression, forming into a pore, in the growing embryo.
- 33. , 2 words, A fluid filled body cavity, surrounded by muscles, that gives support and shape to the body of organisms.
- 34. , A circulatory system in which blood flows partly through a series of vessels but mingles with other fluids inside an animal's body at some times.
